got one like that today. guy wanted me to come dig the bees out of the tree because he's having a kids party tomorrow. never mind that i am in CA....

he had called a bunch of people and we'd all told him the same thing...but i recommended that if he had to have the party in that yard, he could screen the hive after dark and remove the screen after the party or that night. he didn't seem enthusiastic about doing it.

They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called the government. They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....
